Very Computer

You've no problem with an ATAPI CD-ROM. This is an IDE drive, and thats
all you need to install. Your CD will work just fine. Use bare.i for
bootdisk, and color.gz for rootdisk and away you go.

Have fun!

The best advice i can give you is not to use LILO it is safer and easier
to use loadlin it makes upgrading kernels a snap too.
As for writing the root/boot disks youll need bare.i and color.gz
move rawrite.exe to c:\windows\ and open a dos box and type, in the directory
where bare.i and color.gz are in, rawrite bare.i a: then switch floppies and
type rawrite color.gz a: that will create the root and boot disks (the
floppies btw are newly dos formatted and 1.44megs)
